[net.arch] high speed mini-computers

solworth (10/28/82)

	I am interested in finding out about computers costing under
$1 million which would be an order of magnitude faster than the
VAX 11/780.  I have heard that the Elexsi, a new computer, is described
by the company as having a 4MFLOPs rating.  The Gould SEL is also
suppose to be much faster than the VAX, an advertisements claim
they have UNIX(tm).

	Can anyone comment on these or other machines in their class?
I am interested in prices, software, speed, reliability, etc.
